> Jeez, Maxine,
> I'm taking 3mgs a day and would love to get off of it but every time I have tried to decrease it I get terrible rebound anxiety. How on earth did you go cold turkey? Even when I have gone down a quarter of a tab I can feel it. The last time I got off it completely the last leg of the discontinuation I got the sensation of bugs crawling on my arms. It was horrible. But I am encouraged by your story.

Hey Zana,

you could switch to a different benzo and taper that. Klonipin does give a terribel rebound anxiety. I'm doing xanax xr right now. It isn't as 'deep' as klonopin. It is easier to taper though. Just a thought.

nice to see your post,
